How to Load Accepted Items
- Keep all material below the rim/top rail of the dumpster.
- Kitchen trash and clothing must be bagged before loading.
- Mattresses and box springs should be loaded vertically with the long ends facing the front and rear of the dumpster when space allows.
- Appliances with refrigerant are not accepted. Appliances without refrigerant should be loaded at the rear barn doors so they can be accessed at disposal.
- Spread heavy material evenly and avoid placing dense debris in one corner of the container.
Weather and Weight Advice
Rain can make absorbent material much heavier. Mattresses, box springs, couches, upholstered furniture, carpet, padding, clothing, cardboard, drywall, insulation, yard debris, and bagged trash can gain weight quickly when wet. Cover absorbent items when possible, load them before heavy rain, and plan unusually heavy or water-soaked debris before loading.
Important Rental Rules
Standard rentals include 1 ton of disposal weight. Weight over the included amount is billed at $85 per ton, prorated. Material loaded above the rim/top rail can create additional fees, require unloading, or delay pickup. Review the Terms and Conditions for loading rules, added charges, and customer responsibility.
